24th July, 2023: The PM.

Right … it’s Monday.

And, with the Associates “Those First Impressions” on in the background … ?

I’m facing another early Monday morning.

As it’s the day for my weight management class.

Whoopee!

~≈É≈~

Let’s move on, shall we?


Yesterday’s Teaser saw Olga*, Mum† and Debbi‡ putting in their answers: with Olga And Debbi scoring five out of five, and Mum on four.



Let’s see how everyone does with today’s questions, shall we?

Here’s a thought … 

“As modern prime ministers hold office by virtue of their ability to command the confidence of the House of Commons, they sit as members of Parliament.”

From the Wikipedia entry on the post of PM.

And a song …

Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        I’m saying nothing about ducks, Olga!   🤣   But remind me to tell you about Terry Pratchett’s “What Duck?” line!

        Yeah: I can imagine that election wasn’t easy.   From what the BBC’s saying, it looks like a tie …

        And I had a quick reply on Mastodon, when I posted about it.   The chap said Paramount+ aired the episode at the San Diego Comic-Com: and felt they wanted to stop any spoilers.   It was a cross-over episode, after all.

†        Hello, Mum!

‡        Sounds like you're having a rough time, there, Debbi!   I just hope the packages were helpful.   “Those Old Scientists” is great fun!   They got Boimler’s hair colouring right!   Oh, and there’s a koala, as well.
